Increasingly Old Age Women, The Increased sexual satisfaction

Increasingly certain age a woman's sexual desires will decrease. But recently a new study has revealed the surprising finding that despite his desire to decline, middle-aged women have increased sexual satisfaction when having sex with their partner.

This was revealed by a team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System after evaluating the activity and sexual satisfaction were reported by 806 women who took part in the Rancho Bernardo Study.

The average age of participants in this study noted 67 years and 63 percent of the participants reported to be entering a period of post-menopausal women. But half of the participants had a spouse who is still active in sexual activity in the past 4 weeks.

The study measured the prevalence of sexual activity participants carried out later; characteristics associated with sexual activity including demographics, health, and hormone use; frequency stimulation, lubrication, orgasm, and pain during sexual intercourse, as well as the desire and sexual satisfaction in older women.

"In fact, only 1 in 5 women are active sex and reported high sexual desire," said lead researcher Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, MD, professor and head of the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.

"By contrast, an estimated half of women aged 80 years and over reported more arousal, lubrication and orgasm experience all the time but rarely have sexual desire. This contrasts with the traditional model of sex where sexual desire precedes also shows that women are willing to engage in sexual activity because of motivated a variety of reasons, including confirmation of the relationship or obligation to provide inner and outer living in couples, "he added.

Although older age has been hailed as a significant indicator of low sexual satisfaction, the percentage of women who were satisfied with their sex lives actually increases with age. Even estimated half of women aged 80 years and over reported almost always or always experiencing sexual satisfaction.

Moreover, apart from the youngest participants, the oldest participant is also known to have an orgasm satisfaction highest among the other participants.

"From these studies it is known that sexual activity is not merely necessary to obtain sexual gratification. Those who experience it, received satisfaction through touching, fondling or other forms of intimacy that has been sustained in the long-standing relationship," said another researcher, Susan Trompeter as reported of Timesofindia, Thursday (13/12/2012).

According Trompeter, emotional and physical closeness with a partner that is regarded as more important than orgasm. So positive approach to female sexual health are more focused on sexual satisfaction seems to be more useful than just pay attention to sexual activity or disfungsinya only.
